CONFIGURING the SERVER
21
Approved Configurations
(1) 1-CPU Configurations
Mezzanine cards are not supported for 1-CPU configurations, Therefore, only the following RAID
controllers are supported for single-CPU configurations:
Embedded RAID
LSI MegaRAID SAS 9266-8i
LSI MegaRAID SAS 9266CV-8i
(2) 2-CPU Configurations
Select an embedded RAID option from Table 5, one mezzanine RAID controller from Table 6 on
page 19, or one PCIe RAID controller from Table 7 on page 19. You may also select an
appropriate optional RAID configuration listed in Table 7 on page 19.
Caveats
The mezzanine controller is not available for 1-CPU configurations.
If you choose a mezzanine card RAID controller or onboard RAID, both the half-height and
full-height PCIe card slots are still available for adding optional PCIe cards.
The optional PCIe RAID controllers are all half-height PCIe cards. If you choose one of these
cards, only the full-height PCIe card slot will be available for adding an optional PCIe card.
Note that only a single Cisco VIC card (either the full-height Cisco UCS P81E or the
half-height Cisco VIC 1225 PCIe card) is supported and it must be installed in the full-height
PCIe slot (slot 1) on riser 1. So take this into account when populating RAID controller cards.
You can choose only one RAID controller (embedded RAID, plug-in PCIe RAID controller, or
mezzanine card RAID controller).
You can choose an optional RAID configuration (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, or 10), which is
preconfigured at the factory. The RAID level you choose must be an available RAID choice for
the controller selected. RAID levels 50 and 60 are supported, although they are not available
as configuration options.
